Description: Thanks to MUBI for their support! Get your 30 day free trial of MUBI here: mubi.com/thomasflight This video essay examines how The Grand Budapest Hotel has one of Wes Anderson's most complete and extended references to another director's work -his recreation of a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's Torn Curtain. I show these scenes side-by-side, and talk about what makes something an artistic homage instead of a lazy rip-off.
